Definition 37.66.1. A scheme X is ind-quasi-affine if every quasi-compact open of X is quasi-affine. Similarly, a morphism of schemes X \to Y is ind-quasi-affine if f^{-1}(V) is ind-quasi-affine for each affine open V in Y.
37.66 Ind-quasi-affine morphisms
A bit of theory to be used later.
An example of an ind-quasi-affine scheme is an open of an affine scheme. If X = \bigcup _{i \in I} U_ i is a union of quasi-affine opens such that any two U_ i are contained in a third, then X is ind-quasi-affine. An ind-quasi-affine scheme X is separated because any two affine opens U, V are contained in a separated open subscheme of X, namely U \cup V. Similarly an ind-quasi-affine morphism is separated.
Lemma 37.66.2. For a morphism of schemes f : X \to Y, the following are equivalent:
f is ind-quasi-affine,
for every affine open subscheme V \subset Y and every quasi-compact open subscheme U \subset f^{-1}(V), the induced morphism U \to V is quasi-affine.
for some cover \{ V_ j \} _{j \in J} of Y by quasi-compact and quasi-separated open subschemes V_ j \subset Y, every j \in J, and every quasi-compact open subscheme U \subset f^{-1}(V_ j), the induced morphism U \to V_ j is quasi-affine.
for every quasi-compact and quasi-separated open subscheme V \subset Y and every quasi-compact open subscheme U \subset f^{-1}(V), the induced morphism U \to V is quasi-affine.
In particular, the property of being an ind-quasi-affine morphism is Zariski local on the base.
Proof. The equivalence (1) \Leftrightarrow (2) follows from the definitions and Morphisms, Lemma 29.13.3. For (2) \Rightarrow (4), let U and V be as in (4). By Schemes, Lemma 26.21.14, the induced morphism U \to V is quasi-compact. Thus, for every affine open V' \subset V, the fiber product V' \times _ V U is quasi-compact, so, by (2), the induced map V' \times _ V U \to V' is quasi-affine. Thus, U \to V is also quasi-affine by Morphisms, Lemma 29.13.3. This argument also gives (3) \Rightarrow (4): indeed, keeping the same notation, those affine opens V' \subset V that lie in one of the V_ j cover V, so one needs to argue that the quasi-compact map V' \times _ V U \to V' is quasi-affine. However, by (3), the composition V' \times _ V U \to V' \to V_ j is quasi-affine and, by Schemes, Lemma 26.21.13, the map V' \to V_ j is quasi-separated. Thus, V' \times _ V U \to V' is quasi-affine by Morphisms, Lemma 29.13.8. The final implications (4) \Rightarrow (2) and (4) \Rightarrow (3) are evident. \square
Lemma 37.66.3. The property of being an ind-quasi-affine morphism is stable under composition.
Proof. Let f : X \to Y and g : Y \to Z be ind-quasi-affine morphisms. Let V \subset Z and U \subset f^{-1}(g^{-1}(V)) be quasi-compact opens such that V is also quasi-separated. The image f(U) is a quasi-compact subset of g^{-1}(V), so it is contained in some quasi-compact open W \subset g^{-1}(V) (a union of finitely many affines). We obtain a factorization U \to W \to V. The map W \to V is quasi-affine by Lemma 37.66.2, so, in particular, W is quasi-separated. Then, by Lemma 37.66.2 again, U \to W is quasi-affine as well. Consequently, by Morphisms, Lemma 29.13.4, the composition U \to V is also quasi-affine, and it remains to apply Lemma 37.66.2 once more. \square
Lemma 37.66.4. Any quasi-affine morphism is ind-quasi-affine. Any immersion is ind-quasi-affine.
Proof. The first assertion is immediate from the definitions. In particular, affine morphisms, such as closed immersions, are ind-quasi-affine. Thus, by Lemma 37.66.3, it remains to show that an open immersion is ind-quasi-affine. This, however, is immediate from the definitions. \square
Lemma 37.66.5. If f : X \to Y and g : Y \to Z are morphisms of schemes such that g \circ f is ind-quasi-affine, then f is ind-quasi-affine.
Proof. By Lemma 37.66.2, we may work Zariski locally on Z and then on Y, so we lose no generality by assuming that Z, and then also Y, is affine. Then any quasi-compact open of X is quasi-affine, so Lemma 37.66.2 gives the claim. \square
Lemma 37.66.6. The property of being ind-quasi-affine is stable under base change.
Proof. Let f : X \to Y be an ind-quasi-affine morphism. For checking that every base change of f is ind-quasi-affine, by Lemma 37.66.2, we may work Zariski locally on Y, so we assume that Y is affine. Furthermore, we may also assume that in the base change morphism Z \to Y the scheme Z is affine, too. The base change X \times _ Y Z \to X is an affine morphism, so, by Lemmas 37.66.3 and 37.66.4, the map X \times _ Y Z \to Y is ind-quasi-affine. Then, by Lemma 37.66.5, the base change X \times _ Y Z \to Z is ind-quasi-affine, as desired. \square
Lemma 37.66.7. The property of being ind-quasi-affine is fpqc local on the base.
Proof. The stability of ind-quasi-affineness under base change supplied by Lemma 37.66.6 gives one direction. For the other, let f : X \to Y be a morphism of schemes and let \{ g_ i : Y_ i \to Y\} be an fpqc covering such that the base change f_ i : X_ i \to Y_ i is ind-quasi-affine for all i. We need to show f is ind-quasi-affine.
By Lemma 37.66.2, we may work Zariski locally on Y, so we assume that Y is affine. Then we use stability under base change ensured by Lemma 37.66.6 to refine the cover and assume that it is given by a single affine, faithfully flat morphism g : Y' \to Y. For any quasi-compact open U \subset X, its Y'-base change U \times _ Y Y' \subset X \times _ Y Y' is also quasi-compact. It remains to observe that, by Descent, Lemma 35.23.20, the map U \to Y is quasi-affine if and only if so is U \times _ Y Y' \to Y'. \square
Lemma 37.66.8. A separated locally quasi-finite morphism of schemes is ind-quasi-affine.
Proof. Let f : X \to Y be a separated locally quasi-finite morphism of schemes. Let V \subset Y be affine and U \subset f^{-1}(V) quasi-compact open. We have to show U is quasi-affine. Since U \to V is a separated quasi-finite morphism of schemes, this follows from Zariski's Main Theorem. See Lemma 37.43.2. \square
